Pro Tips for Perfect Peach Cake:

1. Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, opt for fresh, ripe peaches that lend a natural sweetness and moisture to the cake.
2. Cream Thoroughly: Creaming the butter and sugar properly introduces air into the batter, helping to create a light and fluffy texture.
3. Alternate Dry and Wet Ingredients: This technique ensures the batter maintains its structure while avoiding overmixing, which can lead to a dense cake.
4. Topping for Extra Flavor: A sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar on top adds a delightful crunch and spice that complements the sweetness of the peaches.
5. Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your oven as the baking time might vary slightly. The cake should be golden and set when done.
